I purchased this for my mom, who is losing her eyesight to macular degeneration. She is 75, so her learning curve can be extreme, especially with 'electronic gadgets'. This was very easy to set up, and she took to it like a duck to water. Now she can continue to read all the things she hadn't been able to for a while. I've tried other products for her, but this one is definitely the best.

MY MOTHER HAS BEEN SLOWLY LOSING HER SIGHT. WITH THIS PRODUCT SHE IS ABLE TO READ CARDS, MAGAZINES & NEWSPAPERS. SHE IS 82 AND HAS NO DIFFICULTY USING THE DEVICE. SHE LOVES IT AND CALLS OFTEN TO TELL ME HOW GREAT IT IS!

We wanted to use the magnifier in home office, but could not set it up on the TV in there. Did manage to set it up in sun room, but found the amount of the page magnified was too small--only a word or two at a time, making reading a whole book (or even a page) very tedious. The gadget is a great idea, but needs to give more reading area.

The magnifier works just fine. However, the area magnified is small. It is so small, that the mouse-like scanner must be moved when reading even a single sentence in a single paragraph of a one column article in a newspaper. That characteristic is an annoyance at the very least, and makes it difficult to keep track of where you are on a single newspaper page. If one raises the scanner above the page to get a larger view, the entire scan goes out of focus. So, one is stuck with a smal area scanned even though it reads perfectly on the TV screen, one half a sentence at a time.

This has been the best gift I was able to get for my Dad who wouldn't be able to read his newspaper without this visual aide. When the first one broke I went and bought 2 more just in case the second one broke. I didn't realize that there was a life time guarantee until the 2nd one broke and it was replaced. The joy my Dad has using the machine is priceless so even if you didn't have the life time guarentee I would still purchase to keep my Dad happy,
